_________________________

As the name implies, A-Maze-Ing is a maze game, but with a twist: you control a mouse who has to make its way through an actual maze. Options include "Cheese Hunt" (collect 10 pieces of cheese in the right order before you are shown the exit), "Escape Maze" (Get to the exit as fast as you can), "Mouseholes" (shortcuts through the maze walls) or "Obstacles" (which blocks the center of the passages), whether there are cats (and how many) in the maze, how fast they are, and whether the cats are smart or dumb. Try to beat your own best time, or play with another player choosing between co-operative or competitive play.

Trivia:

A-Maze-Ing, Hunt The Wumpus, and Blasto were all initially going to be bundled on one cartridge. However, programmer Kevin Kenney took these games and added a bunch of extra features to them, turning them into viable stand alone cartridge products. In the end this was a great move by Kevin since all of them went on to become top sellers on the 99/4A system, bringing in more money than what TI would have gotten with an all-in-one watered down combo cartridge.
